Kiira,
     http://snort.sourceforge.net/snort-daily.tar.gz contains a daily snapshot
of the CVS tree.  Be warned though, I believe it's a tarball of the actual CVS
tree, not the export (or checked out) tree.  This should at least get you around
your firewall issues :)  Alternately, I make a snapshot at midnight CDT, that is
a checked out version, it's available (if you want to trust me :)) at:
http://www.danger.ms/~billm/snort-current.tgz

Hi,

Ok, it's my day for goofy questions I guess. I have recompiled
snort using Sebastian Krahmer's patched libpcap, I am using a
2.2.16 kernel and all went well with the build. If I understand
the docs I've found on this I should be able to start snort like:
'./snort -D -i any -c snort.conf' and have it read from all nics?

Instead I get

Initializing Network Interface any
ioctl(SIOCGIFMTU): No such device
ERROR: Can not get MTU of an interface any!

????

Looks like old snort (1.7x something) is used here. :) We have done a
few fixes here:
1. It's recomended to use recent version from www.tcpdump.org, they have
fixed a few things in Sebastian's code and incorporated the patch.
2. More recent snort, we have fixed support of interface 'any' in it :)


Yes Ok, I am using ver 1.7 from snort.org. Poop. When is ver. 8
expected ready for prime time? Getting cvs working is not going
through my firewall it looks.

thanks,

Kiira
